One thing I will tell you with certainty: we are never going back to whatever normal used to be. That's over and done. Maybe we get to dig our way out of this hole and actually address some of the reasons we got here, or maybe we don't. I'm not sure it gets better in my lifetime, but I'm kinda old.

I have literally been saying this for years. Every surface street is *somebody’s* neighborhood

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

A lot of people dunking on this are missing the point that people who lean left don’t actually seem to *want* a “Fox News of the Left”, likely because one of the common characteristics of progressives and liberals is a desire to avoid monocultures.

"You remember that interview that claimed Nintendo of America once suggested Pokémon's beloved mascot Pikachu should look like 'a kind of a tabby cat with huge breasts?' Well some new light has been shone on it."

It only takes, like, an iota of critical thinking to conclude how an amateur team might outdraw pro teams: when you only have 4-8 home games, it’s a whole lot easier to get more people to show up than 15! It’s the same fundamental reason why gridiron football is so popular. Scarcity of product!

I can’t subscribe to “never”: the disruption U.S. Soccer would see if, say, college soccer joined the adult amateur/semi-pro/pro ecosystem could make the status quo unrecognizable. That said, I absolutely don’t get the the current level of fan fiction or wish casting around lower league soccer.

So frustrating: great cast; great chemistry; great dialogue.

No story!

Stop pretending there’s a story! There isn’t one! Just shoot episodes cinéma vérité style of life in a struggling restaurant.

[taking a super deep bong hit] yeah man, yeah. What if *we’re* all just LLM agents in some higher order computational network and AI companies are like when those dudes make a working version of Minecraft inside Minecraft or something. Someone should make a movie about that.

Maybe even a better example is “Obi Wan”: the prequels were not great for a variety of reasons, but there was plenty to work with in “fall of the republic, origin story of Vader”. Your real problem there was Lucas’ directorial choices

But what was the point of “Obi Wan”?

Well, USL HQ is in sunny Tampa, Florida.

Steve is 'Working from home' today.
He's trying his best.

I am kinda fascinated by the emerging joint deployment of “Mamdani would take away the NYPD’s ability to effectively deal with shootings like the one that happened on Monday” and “It’s impossible to prevent shootings like the one that happened on Monday”, sometimes on the same page of the newspaper.

With all apologies, I honestly have no idea how to describe this Facebook screenshot

Walker County, Georgia, ladies and gentlemen

Age verification? The Chevy Vega wagon my parents bought because you can’t put a car seat in a Triumph Spitfire.

This was also covered in some detail in last week’s On The Media: www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Hello, I’m a library software developer in a film. You wouldn’t know what I did because who the fuck would make this film?

Man’s over here singlehandedly filling up the “Party of Family Values” hypocrisy bingo card.

I’m not super interested in the plight of the dude whose business is based on “$100/month” in development costs.

they can only take what's pure from us if we let them

Misunderstood what the MLS playoffs are and said I was for whichever team did more cataloging coursework
